The GIPS Standards Expand to Greece
The GIPS Executive Committee is pleased to announce that Hellenic CFA Society has been endorsed as the official sponsor of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) in Greece. This country sponsor endorsement represents the 31st country to formally adopt the GIPS standards. Administered by the CFA Institute Centre for Financial Market Integrity, the success of the GIPS standards is the result of an alliance of sponsors across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. These key industry groups contribute significantly to promoting and developing the GIPS standards. (To view all groups involved in GIPS promotion and development, visit our website.)
Sunette Mulder, chair of the GIPS Executive Committee and senior policy advisor for the Association for Savings and Investment, South Africa (ASISA), announced the endorsement of the Greece Country Sponsor at the GIPS Executive Committee meeting held in Dublin, Ireland on 27 March.
Jonathan Boersma, CFA, executive director of the GIPS standards commented, “The GIPS Executive Committee is pleased to have Hellenic CFA Society share the important role of promoting the GIPS standards in Greece. As an endorsed country sponsor, the Hellenic CFA Society will work to raise awareness of the GIPS standards and demonstrates a strong commitment to promoting global best practices.”
